Dear Ambellina

Post by pinkfloydpuffer »

So, I got the best bday present ever today! Meet my little teensy Ambellina! Sorry I don't have any pics of her in her tank, she's still nervous. I'm pretty sure she's a female. She is just so darn adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodness, she *is* little! What kind of puffer is she?
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

I had to look twice to make sure there was a fish in there! Adorable little Dwarf!

I like her name. Do you know what it means? I guess it's Italian.

Thanks. I have no idea what it means really, I got it from a song actually... "The Crowning" by Coheed and Cambria
I get most of the names for my fish from bands actually lol.

I know that the name "Bellina" means "beautiful girl." Idk about the "am-" part.

Well she is a beautiful girl ;)
I know that "ina" at the end of words means "little", so I figured it fit well enough :D
